Top 5+3 Fountain Pen Choices: Prof Con

[@sahastrajitsingh2646]

The level of acting skills were brilliant ! For a moment I thought there were two people just casually talking

[@ramanprajapati675]

I purchased the airmail 71jt from Amazon . But the nib didn't perfom as per it's price. But when I replaced the nib with kanwrite then it became super performer. Highly Highly recommend.

[@thinker1680]

Now replace the feed with Sheaffer no nonsense feed and it ourperforma pens 100x its price

[@nitina8564]

This is exactly what we were missing, and that's why most of us miss Dr. Con. Keep bringing these once in a while at least.

[@samarthd9948]

We need more of Dr. Con. Please keep uploading more such videos

[@richardsimms251]

Great video. Thank you.

[@drnandukankate4611]

Sir I watch almost all your videos and I really like them. Please tell me more about yourself, just feel like you live in some other dimension. Don't even know your Name... And I suggest you to join Facebook FP groups like FPN and FPCI and post your videos and pen pictures...you will reach to even more people

Nice to see Wality 71JT on top of this list. It is a truly nice model. Wality 69T is also good (has few cosmetic changes in look compared to 71JT).

[@kevinu.k.7042]

Regarding the intro: If there is one 'English speaking' people who can use inferred put downs, in English, better than the English themselves it has to be Indians! You had me laughing out loud. Dr Con is the voice of reason. Magnificent. It was heartening to see that the Indian manufacturers haven't gone down the road of cheap Chinese nibs which have poorer quality tips. Also to appreciate the great quality and value of some of these lovely offerings. I was a little taken aback by the price of the custom Lotus pens. They are beautiful and seem well made. However for those prices and most often 'only' a Jowo nib? I am mindful of the lower overheads and on-costs of manufacturing in India. Those prices seem exceptionally high and sit right up there with Namiki and Montblanc, with their much higher overheads. If I might add: In the pursuit of good value and good writing experience, perhaps the theme of this vog, I believe that every fountain pen user needs to learn how to polish a nib. Also, ideally, how to change the nib wetness as well. These simple skills (See youtube for how-to, are one of key routes for getting a good, yet affordable, writing experience. I have a steel nibbed Lamy Al-Star which writes every bit as nicely as my Platinum 3776 (actually better than). It took this fumbling amateur less than five minute with some micromesh to achieve that. This was an enjoyable and enlightening watch. I look forward to your next, refreshing, review. Thank you.

I love it when people write a detailed review / comment / post ... it is good to read observations as well as the suggestions made.

@@srijoykanjilal5903 Thank you - I like peoples detailed reviews too. :)

[@tagamag]

This is a hilarious yet useful post. Thank you. Very glad to see Faber Castell Loom Metallic version as the smoothest pen and the second best in this list. Since it is not available easily (or just if one wants the same experience elsewhere), what pen would you recommend for a smooth writing experience under 100 dollars? I've seen your comparison of TWSBI ECO and LOOM. I think we need a better match to compete with the Loom.

[@hemangpokal]

Detailed and very nice enjoyable video to watch. However, I wonder how you could afford all these pens as they are costly!

[@thepenhover8500]

How to purchase Asa nauka ?

[@kishlaya1]

Proff con simply rocks he is mass voice and the pens he described are awesome ,i am yet to put my hands on custom builds which i will do now after watching him.Thanks a lot proff👍😀

[@drfountainpens1521]

Thanks for your kind words. Not that I care: Prof C :D

[@countlitmogaphil392]

Sir can you do a review for the jinhao x 450, it's a budget pen that actually writes very well, you may be interested in it

[@kevinu.k.7042]

They are good value, but what is less widely known is they use poor quality tipping material on their nibs.

[@aravindvenkatasubramanian1501]

One of your best videos. Instead of Lamy Safari, I prefer the metallic Lamy Logo. heavily underrated but amazing pen

[@mohannarayanaswamynataraja551]

Enjoyed your video - subscribed to it

They are lotus student, Vikrant and balladeer. Last was unnamed model. As per specificationa

Google is your friend. Also, try joining FPN (the Fountain Pen Network) it's an internet forum where you can ask questions about fountain pens, nibs, inks etc.

Is or was there a particular fountain pen that was favored by railroad workers?

Love Dr Con!; we love the Pilot 78g+:); amazingly, I’ve got Airmai 71G - love this pen: my first ebonite feed:)

[@alchemist.3]

Very very nice... you actually addressed the elephant in the room. The segment that wants buttery smooth writing at affordable price. I agree with Wality 71GT... I have Wality 69T with Kanwrite 35 medium nib. Match made in heaven and highly recommend it to your viewers.

[@MR.BUCK_MAN]

can you suggest me good pen under 1000 inr, I am now using pierre cardon golden eye but its too small. I have a medium hands.

[@sathishrao7926]

Feedback on my 3776 Bourgogne gives me nightmares so much so that it’s the least preferred fountain pen in my ‘collection’ of just a handful of pens !

[@drfountainpens1521]

Don't get rid of it.. it may become your favourite some day

[@sathishrao7926]

@@drfountainpens1521 No I won’t.. I paid less than Rs 7K for a brand new pen on a deal !

Hello. Please make a review of Moonman Youth fountain pen. There is no video available about this beautiful but affordable pen. Will be a great help.

[@hyleenpognaire8134]

Plz try muji aluminium fountain pen,, it's design is attractive and simple.. But I want to have writing opinion compared to pilot mr and preffy, etc..

[@pcalculas]

Awesome 😎

[@TejasSreenivasan96]

Some day you can also try Pilot Custom 74. I recently bought one and it is amazing. I think it contest against platinum 3776.

[@muskndusk]

One of my favourite pens is the very inexpensive Jinhao 51A with the exposed nib. I have two. For this second I bought a number 5 1.1 stub nib from ebay, it writes beautifully. The other one I worked on myself; it's now a stubbish nib, but narrower than the 1.1. Apart from those, I particularly like my flexy vintage Wahl Eversharp Skyline which was given to me by a nice person on FPN.

[@DrAmit-bt2zo]

Hey man i am new to fountain pens. I hate scratchy feel it gives. Kindly suggest me a non scratchy pen which i can use for daily notes taking. I can afford between 300 rupees to 1700

[@muskndusk]

@@DrAmit-bt2zo I've just looked up the amount. There isn't much for that price. If you don't mind a pen which feels heavy in the hand you could try a Jinhao X450. Watch some videos about this first, and maybe some about fountain pens under £15.

[@srijoykanjilal5903]

Hi doctor, let me begin by complimenting you for the absolutely amazing collection of fountain pens that you have.. apart from the ones in this video, I’ve seen your other clips and I’d readily give an arm and a leg to have as many 😁 The two pens that really stood out for me in this video, were the Honey Dew and the last one for which I couldn’t quite catch the name.. both were exquisite! The ASA Nauka looked interesting and so did the Airmail 71JT and Lotus Student. So I wanted to ask ... How do you go about getting these pens? Do you write to the manufacturers to place your order or do you scour the internet to find these or do you buy from a brick & mortar store? I would like to connect and discuss in some detail for although I have a few pens - most having been handed down to me (a Sheaffer, a Parker and a Pilot - I don’t know what the names are but all that are from the 1960s at least) and some that I’ve bought (and lost) - I would like to build a diverse collection of fine writing fountains from both Indian and international makers.
